Nice.
I'm still making and selling these Hatfield replicas too.
Alas, I've yet to see a clear shot of the stem. I fiddled around with all sorts of stem and button combinations and finally said screw it and settled on a conventional button on a very slim stem and shank.
I may be wrong but the movie was filmed in Romania and I think they picked up the pipe there. Otherwise, someone would have surely stepped into the limelight by now.
This a link that shows a few of the ones I've done lately along with some other odds and ends. http://redrockbriar.imgur.com/all/

The "time machine" historical accuracy vibe is cool, but you've gotta go all in to make it work. Namely, the 30-30 cartridge wasn't invented until after the H-M feud ended, and while jacketed bullets had been (barely), they weren't commonly available until after WWI.
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

Sorry, I'm all out of .32-20 and these were the purtiest bullets I had.
I'll try harder next time, pinky promise.

I'm not sure there is a stem, it really looks like one piece. I have one screen shot that shows theres definately a really short saddle at the end (maybe 1/2") and a very tiny bit of a flare.
That's one of the best Devil Anse bowl replicas I've seen yet. The stem vexes me too. I saw the same as you, Ryan, a flattened stem with a bit of a flare and it looked very crudely done. I wonder if a prop guy filed it down so Costner could clench it in his molars better. I've tried to clench a regular pipe in my back teeth and it isn't easy to do unless the stem is really flattened.
